Superior trustees delay vote on amendment to Town Center plan

Special meeting set for Feb. 29

Superior's Board of Trustees agreed to postpone a discussion and vote on an amendment to the Town Center's development plan at the end of a lengthy meeting Monday night.

Trustees will hold a special meeting at 6 p.m. Feb. 29 at Town Hall to discuss and vote on the amendment, which does not include plans to restore the excavated buffer zone that separates Superior Town Center from the Rock Creek neighborhood.

The buffer zone was not on Monday's agenda, but surfaced several times during the meeting.

Randy Goodson, who represents town center developer Ranch Capital LLC, told the trustees that restoration of the buffer would likely occur in June or July because ongoing projects had to be completed before the developer's attention could be diverted.

Trustee Elia Gourgouris voiced outrage at one resident's comments comparing Superior to Flint, Mich., where residents have become sick from corrosive water being blamed on an oversight by local, state and federal officials.

Gourgouris called William Leipold's comments inaccurate and offensive and suggested he apologize to the town during a future public meeting.

"While I understand your anger, I also understand the frustration of the residents," Clark said.

Clark also asked the trustees to adopt the amendment proposed by developer Ranch Capital on the restoration of the buffer zone, which she suggested should be completed by April and landscaped by June to avoid another stressful summer for Rock Creek residents.
